TWO SONNETS.
THE CUP OF LIFE.

Drink deep of life before thou seek to drain
The last dull cup of cool and liquid death;
Drink every drop. let no rich CLINT remain
While yet we kiss the brim with eager breath.
The hour glass runs away with youth and
age
Too quick the sands of life are slipped and
crossed,
With trembling hand Time turns another
page,
And our slow feet upon the way are lost.
Drink deep of life-of loves great joy and
pain;
Be kind of the swift hours, and not their
slave.
Our songs are tempered by the cups we drain
To stronger life and love more strong to save.
Drink deep of what endures, then strangely
sweet
Will seem the cup Death brings with linger
ing feet.

THE CUP OF DEATH.

She bends her lovely head to taste thy
draught,
O thou stern CANCEL of the Darker Cup''
With thee tonight in the dim shades to sup
Where all they be who from that cup have
quaffed.
She had been glad in her own loneliness and
laughed
At Lies strong enemies who lie in wait
Had kept with golden youth her queenly
state,
All unafraid of Sorrows threatning shaft.
Then human Grief found out her human
heart,
And she was fain to go where pain is dumb
So thou vert welcome, Angel dread to
see.
And she fares onward with thee willingly,
To dwell where no man loves, no lovers part
So Grief that is makes welcome Death to
come. Louise c. Moulton.
